Cycle Safely - The original and world's first Cycling and pedestrian safety and courtesy app.
The CycleSafe app has been developed in order to provide an automated notification to pedestrians and cyclists from an approaching cyclist. The alert is programmed to be triggered when the cyclist is 50 meters from the other users. Having downloaded the app the user is invited to log in as a cyclist or pedestrian in order for the alerts to be set correctly. Users can set the type of notification they receive. The position of the pedestrian and the approaching cyclist will also be displayed on the app's live map. Users may also be able to identify the name of the approaching cyclist by pressing their location marker on the map.
The overall purpose of the app is to provide a safe and friendly notification to all route users of an approaching cyclist. This will particularly help those who may have hearing loss or who are using headphones etc. The app will help cyclists let others know of their approach and provide safer and potentially faster cycle travel.
It is the aim of Cyclebell.co.uk to work with other platforms and partners to extend the use and uptake of the CycleSafe app approach and to continuously improve the app's functionality.
